Q's Downtown Santa Barbara

As a community assistant I am responsible for putting on events for the residents so they feel like home and have fun. Last year we went to a place called Q's Billairds. Its a small 3 story club in downtown Santa Barbara. Its 18 and over only on wednesday nights. So thats the day that we'll have to book it for all the residents. My boss keeps asking me when are we going to Q's since she loved it last year and I made her go on the dance floor. I decided to roll down there tonight and talk to the manager or owner to see what kind of group discount rate we can get since we got like 300 students and like 295 of them are 18. I walked up and asked the bouncer what was the discount rate or how do I go about talking to management about it. He responded in a sarcastic voice that there is no such thing as discount rate. I told him that last year we did and it went really well for both parties. He just then stated that I have to talk to the owner during the day time. Why couldn't he tell me that in the beginning when I asked? I understand that its a club and bouncers have to be serious but customer service is customer service. The club scene in Santa Barbara is not even that serious. No body gets patted down. No purses or bags get checked. ID's are not ran under a black light. The biggest bouncers stay outside and watch the door. All the bouncers inside blend in with the crowd and if there were a fight all 25 of them would have to jump in to bring people out. If there was a big enough group those bouncers would get rocked too. But because Q's has the bigger dance floor and more bars than any other 18 and over spot, Im still gonna have to give them props for having best of worst 18 and over clubs in Santa Barbara. With the third floor being 21 and over and about 8 billaird tables, second floor a VIP section and another bar, and the first floor with the biggest bar in the building and DJ playing music that is under par for the dance floor Q's claims reign for the 18 and over bars/clubs in downtown Santa Barbara. Ill have to find out how to get to that owner to see whats up with the rates.
